it *IS* the "out of the box" experience with terminology in git. it requires no
configuration, no special theme or changes. it's the default. if you are on a
package and that package has altered the default experience, then look at that.
if it's an older release - then i am unsure why you have tabs but not the gfx
overlay for it as i added that at about the same time. but it is the default
out-of-the-box thing for terminology (as far as i am concerned as future
releases are based off what is currently in git).

ugly to add without exposing it via elm - its kind of violating the efl layers
and digging into a layer underneath that is not exposed.
